Early Years Laser Question

In CL 39 and 39 supplemental, it said that charts for Lasers would appear on the cards that used them. Yet, the romulan ship that carries Lasers does not have those charts. Am I overlooking something? Is there a place to get the "official" charts?

Thanks.

Yeah, well, you see ...

The rules were written assuming that you would be using the SFB SSDs out of Modules Y1 and Y2. It did not assume that actual FC Ship Cards would be made. Therefore, the only weapons charts included were those that were different from their SFB counterparts (namely quantum torpedoes and seeking plasmas). Anything that use the SFB charts unmodified were not printed, as they were all available on the SFB SSDs that were assumed to be used.

My bad.

However, in the spirit of fair play, the laser chart is as such:

Code: Select all

Roll  Rg0   Rg1   Rg2
1     3     2     2
2     2     2     2
3     2     2     1
4     2     2     1
5     2     1     0
6     1     1     0

It is extremely short ranged. (4A4) penalties are applied normally. If you run off the end of the chart, the damage is zero. Lasers cannot damage "range shifted" targets (e.g. cloaked targets).

Mike, could I request one more thing? The chart for nova cannons.
